Transcript excerpt
You can now clone a YouTube channel in minutes. First pick a channel you like, take 10-15 of their videos, and drop them into notebook LM. Then ask it, why does this work? What are the topics, hooks, patterns? Now you're not guessing anymore. Pick one idea it gives you, and build a video from that. Script, structure, even visuals. Then repeat, same style, find what works, and scale it. Comment, copy, and I'll send over the steps we just covered.
